A simple shake of the attached tool confirms its identity and ensures all the attachment settings (pressure, flow, and dimensions) are correct so you can work quickly and efficiently.
Many excavator models (GC & GX excluded) feature work tool profiles that automatically import attachment settings into Cat Grade, Cat E-fence, and more.

Location updates are sent to the VisionLink using cellular and satellite connectivity for full fleet management capability.
